A New Nightmare was a meta commentary on the franchise and Freddy vs Jason doesn’t count, so 1991’s The Final Nightmare counts as the very last of the “real” A Nightmare on Elm Street series. That sounded like a good thing at the time, since the child-murdering dream demon and bastard son of a hundred maniacs had become a comedic shell of his former terrifying self. But the script by future Texas Film Hall of Fame inductee Michael De Luca added new twists and some of the franchise’s best kills, while director Rachel Talalay (the first woman to direct an Elm Street film) made the ingenious and memorable decision to film the closing act – and Freddy’s final death – in glorious 3D. So don your red/green viewers in celebration of both this wild slice of early Nineties horror and We Luv Video’s giant 3D glasses front-window display created by the evening’s host, artist Liz Tyson. – Richard Whittaker
